It just never seems to end. But... These lessons have to be mine to see the truth of, I guess. I cannot be silent and I cannot ever be practiced at turning my head.
I love this poem! It's So cool. I especially like the part about how he should stan strong and tall as papa because he was a man who knew life by the way it felt.
I'd get up there. I have a poem of my mixed heritage of the black activists and degenerates my people need to come to terms with and reconcile to produce a greater community.
@willshakeyou Ha! I was going to say the exact same thing. It kind of bothers me though, someone who made a comment like that obviously didn't soak up all of that poem.
@reneearnold its art, so saying it belongs to one race or another is ignorant! And if you pay attention to Most of the slam poetry out there it is against the exact comment you made.
Educate yourself on the metamessage that all poets bring regardless of their race. Do you realize your words are the fuel that keeps racism and ignorance burning? You can't understand Jason Carney, because you can't even understand yourself and what your even doing. Ignorance is your choice not to think so all I'm saying is you need to think.
This wonderful man is my English professor
Jessica no shit.. that's chill
HES MINE NOW HAHA

"Grow to be a man who knew life by the way it felt"

"people who were silent and practiced in turning their heads" great poem for racism
My poetry teacher showed this man and I was so amazed by him and I love his spoken word so much
Thank you..For your Profound..American Truth...

This guy spoke at my school a while ago. He's inspiring, and his message and voice were made for this art form.

@dbzmegafan1 I completely agree, Gemineye actually had a good line about that in "Poetic Bloodlines"
Much of this is still true among my generation in Washington County, GA, not to mention the Republican Party of the South.
